[Andy636]

I was wondering if any of you guys here has one of these puppies.

For the ones that don't know what I'm talking about here is a link: http://oneplus.net/

Unlike most of Europe who have a more homogenous set of GSM standards and carriers, I'm in no mood to switch to AT&T or T-Mobile.

Looks like a nice phone. Wonder if it would be available in the States.

i'm with you on that,(T-moblie has no presence or signal in my area, at&t is spotty at best) but unfortunately, its not entirely that simple...

now of course, I don't know what phone you have, but i'm on my second Verizon 4GLTE handset (model not important). Even though Verizon is a CDMA carrier, and have never used SIM cards in the past, Their 4G Phones do.
The 4G standard is a GSM Derivative.

and the specific phone mentioned in this thread, has this listed under connectivity:
Connectivity

GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40

so it would appear to be cdma capable to me anyway

I want one but at a smaller size. 4.7" size screen is the max I will ever go.

Sounds like you know more than I do. I had a heckuva time finding any real information about the product on their site, but David Pogue's review noted it as T-Mobile/AT&T - centric.

To answer your query, I have an iPhone on Verizon. Verizon reception in our area is FAR SUPERIOR to anything else. My smartphone and first Apple product tho; I am not overwhelmed.

It is actually, too bad the invitation system is a PITA

I registered on their site to be invited to purchase one of those phones. I haven't received my invitation yet but that doesn't matter.
I ordered a Moto G LTE that should be delivered next week.

I decided I really didn't want a big honking 5.5" screen. I don't spend my life on a cell phone and like to keep it in my pocket. I was impressed by the price/performance specs of the Oneplus One but decided it would be more inconvenient than it was worth and the manufacturer has no track record.

I have Cyanogenmod on my current Samsung phone. It is a pretty good fork of Android. my phone is a bit flaky at times but i can't tell if it is the op system or the hardware.
